DOCUMENTARIAN REED, CULMINATES 50 YEAR JOURNEY ENCOMPASSING THE EVOLUTION OF AMERICAN MUSIC, THE UPHEAVALS OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, AND REFLECTING ON TREASURES OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, LOST AND FOUND
BOSTON, MA– When Grammy- and Emmy-award winning documentary filmmaker Ted Reed was moving his office, he uncovered his 16mm black and white film “Thinking Out Loud”, shot in 1971. Filmed with his friend Tim Treadway, the two traveled fro
m Boston through Memphis and Clarksdale to find and record some of the last living blues legends. “Thinking Out Loud” was seen at festivals, and then stored away. Fast forward fifty years has led to the compilation of then and now in his new film, “The Blues Trail Revisited.”
Ted is beyond excited to share that his film is now available to rent via www.thebluestrailrevisited.com.
“The film puts you in the passenger seat right next to the filmmaker rounding the bend on a 50 year old odyssey: to excavate the last living blues legends and his own youthful filmmaking past.
Reed once again rattles back through time and the deep south, brushing the dust off the towns, tunes, and sweat-soaked juke joints where the blues bloomed– and still do. The movie is a sweet sad song of praise for those unsung, who wove their troubles and dreams into the original fabric of American music.”
-Joyce Kulhawik, Arts & Entertainment Critic
“A story of blues friends, fans and follow through, Ted Reed’s remarkable BLUES TRAIL REVISITED spans 50 years—tying together past Southern blues traditions with those of the present day and perhaps even the future.”
– Roger Stolle, Cat Head Promotions
“The memories that this film brought back were outstanding and made me want to go back and discover some of the places that I missed…This movie will also make anyone that is not into the Blues or Mississippi change their mind.”
– Paul Benjamin, North Atlantic Blues Festival
“The Blues Trail Revisited” showcases the new respect for the cultural value of a musical form that had been all but ignored in the south a half-century ago. Now, rock fans, mostly white, from all the world, raised on music adopted from rural black communities, are flocking to that well-spring in record numbers. Museums and historic markers have sprung up to guide a growing caravan of international tourists. Venues from roadside Juke Joints to new concert halls offer musicians, both veterans and young performers, places to perform almost every night of the week.
Revealing interviews with authors, historians and hospitality entrepreneurs, musicians, state officials, and more, detail significant changes from the 1970s to present day.
Last year, Reed released the award-winning documentary film “Juke Joint Festival Revisited” during the virtual Juke Joint Festival event in Clarksdale, MS, with his primary goal to help drive donations to the Blues Foundation COVID-19 fund (https://j.mp/2wupAYe), and the Mississippi Blues Benevolent Fund (http://www.msbluestrail.org//mississippi-blues-trail-donations) that supports Blues musicians.
Ted has been producing, directing, writing, and shooting films and television since the 1970s. Creating documentaries, commercials, animated features, and broadcast and streaming series. His storytelling expertise has led to award-winning shows about gender equality, the future of communications technology, immigration, national parks, West Indian music, space tourism, assisted suicide, Jewish innovators, and handgun violence. He is the recipient of multiple awards.
During his career he partnered with the MIT team who pioneered internet streaming video technology, produced New England’s first local all-digital TV broadcast and pioneered the use of interactive video for large business meetings.
Ted has taught and lectured at Harvard University, Tufts University, Boston University, Endicott College and the Boston Film and Video Foundation. He has brought filmmaking courses to elementary schools, community groups and retirement homes, and continues to run film, photography and music workshops at his office in Gloucester, MA.

Good Evening Joey,
Writing Mothers’ Workshop has an exhibit on display in the Matz Gallery at the Sawyer Free Library for the month of April (which also happens to be poetry month) entitled, Through the Looking Glass. Attached are some examples featured in the exhibit.
Through the Looking Glass is a mixed medium brain child of North Shore mother writers (L-R): Nancy Carolyn Kwant, Kristin Proctor, Meg Grant, and Lyn Towne-Smith (not pictured). Together they form a group called the Writing Mothers’ Workshop.
This exhibit is based on found poetry which is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them (a literary equivalent of a collage) by making changes in spacing and lines, or by adding or deleting text, thus imparting new meaning. The windows for this exhibit came from the rectory of the former Sacred Heart Church in Lanesville and along the roads of Gloucester.
Former works of WMW include Love and the Fall-Out at the Eastern Point Lit House, Parts: A Maternal Dichotomy, at the formerFlatrocks Gallery, and Maternal Garments: What Mothers Wear at the Lanesville Community Center.

GLOUCESTER, MASS. (April 2021) – To engage and involve more children and families at the Cape Ann Museum, Gloucester-born artist Michael Grimaldi has created a family-friendly guide, Cassie the Sea Serpent, for a series of programs, a virtual lecture, and events this spring. Grimaldi, a local muralist, graphic designer, and Monserrat College of Art graduate who now lives in Beverly, will be live painting Cassie throughout the galleries in the coming weeks so that visitors can see him at work.
Inspired by the legendary story of the Cape Ann Sea Serpent, a creature that was seen in Gloucester Harbor between 1817-1819 by hundreds of residents, Cassie will be the centerpiece of activities, a socially-distanced scavenger hunt through the Museum, and a series of programs over April School Vacation Week (April 22-25). Families with children under 18 are invited…
